I have been taking our cars to Wilson at El Cajon Smog Test & Repair for many many years. Wilson is extremely professional, efficient and honest. I have never had a quote for a service end up costing me anything different. That just doesnt exist in the car industry. Wilson and the whole team at El Cajon Smog Test & Repair deliver an experience that is world class. Their customer service is wonderful and so appreciated. I will continue to recommend Wilson and his team at El Cajon Smog Test & Repair to my family, friends and clients. Thank you El Cajon Smog Test & Repair!

El Cajon Smog Test & Repair provides friendly, fast, cost efficient service. The owner is straight-forward and honest. Ive had several repairs done, including brakes, oil change and tires. The service is stunningly fast. The repairs have been reliable and the price was reasonable (cheaper than several other local shops). I have found my new car guy.Highly recommend.

Dealt with Hirsch (sorry if I misspelled), he was very nice. I went for a Groupon oil change but had some other things going on with my car. He explained to me and his prices very affordable. I will keep this place in mind for future car concerns 👍👍

Great service! Took it in & left it overnight. They went through it & fixed what needed to be done, did my smog check after & now my car runs like NEW!! WOULD RECOMMEND to anyone who needs work done. Very nice owner & staff.

They told me my ODB2 plug was removed and they cant smog. Turns out my van (a 1995) doesnt have an odb sensor at all and you have to use a totally different method. Then they said give me 800$$ and Ill pass it! Wth I left immediately! I want my van fixed, not rigged or passed illegally.

I took my car in for a host of issues and it was done quickly and efficiently. It was a drastic difference driving it after it was all done. They did an excellent job and the owner communicated very well before doing any work, to make sure I wanted it done. I appreciated the communication and a job well done! I will continue to use this shop when I need it!

This is very cheap place and very unprofessional workers there. I brought in my Corolla for 2 tires and oil change, they broke my tire sensor. And they told me my car don’t have sensor, after hours of argument they just glued it and let it go, I hope nobody experience this.

Best auto shop there is. Never over charges you and try’s to work with your budget. If you ever need a fair price with a great job done. This would be the place to go.

Brought my car for ac issues, the owner of shop “fixed” my car in 30 seconds for $80 🤦🏽‍♂️ .. later that night ac were not cold again, had to wait 2 days to return the car just for this guy to say it’s the coolant and try charging me an addictional $350 on something that costs $100 when I had asked him what I was charged $80 for he gave me a whole explanation that made 0 sense. 0/10 recommend this place they will hustle you out of your money!!

Ive taken two of my vehicles here. A dodge 3500 for leaking oil from oil pan, main seal and head. They did a good job and told me if it ever leaks to bring it back out had guarantee. Took aMy gmc sierra also after the transmission blew. He was honest and upfront,and was able to find me a good used one. Ive had them redone before, and hes right, they never come out perfect. His prices are fair, and likes to earn your trust and your business.

Stopped in last week. No one was out front, I had to walk around to find someone who worked there. Asked about a smog check. The guy told me the machine was broken. When I asked well, do you know when it would be back up? he just shrugged and walked off. End of interaction. Glad I only wasted 10 minutes on this place.

I have an older car that needed the breaks and tires changed. The mechanic who assisted me let me know that there was a minor oil leak coming from the engine and suggested that we patch it. He asked me what I could pay and I told him honestly what I could afford and he worked with me. These guys are very nice and I plan on going back in the future. Also the work done has given me nothing to complain about. Also they refilled most of my fluids just to be nice.

This place is beyond outstanding, the service is unmatchable, all of the guys working there are very diligent in making sure your car is taken care of. Wilson the owner has gone above and beyond for me, friends of mine, and all the customers I have seen while I havebeen there. They all work on your car till everything is working right. Yes, I say praise God for this place and all the people working there. All the stars that myself and people have given are right on for this place.

Place was full at 8am but cleared up very quickly. I was just there for a smog test but Im so grateful that it was pointed out to me that there was almost no oil left in my engine. I was about to go for a 5 Hour Drive, the team here were a huge help! I was in and out in about 30 or 40 minutes, smog test and oil change for $60. Cant beat it.

I called to see about pricing ahead of time and found out that they take walk ins for oil changes so I went on in. I thought theyd be busy, but they werent, they got me in and out super quickly. The oil change took less than 30 minutes, and it was only 30 dollars. Thats the best value Ive found so far. The mechanics did not try to pressure me into buying more services than I had come in for. All in all, Ill be coming back next time my car needs to be serviced. Impressive customer service, great prices, and amazingly quick. New fave auto place.

Review №37

Solid place. Straight shooter on repairs wasnt trying to sell me on anything. Original quote from another shop was $1500 and 2 days of repair. They did in in 2 hours for $300.My 2nd time here and the only downside is business is picking up so space to park is limited.

Review №38

Very fast service and the guy was super friendly as well. I was out of there in less than 20 mins with a certificate in hand. Definaelty choose this place the next time you need to snog your vehicle. Im sure you wont regret it. If they find something wrong with your car they have everything they need to fix your emissions so you can pass. Come here with confidant that youll pass.

“A SOLID HOMERUN”After visiting “El Cajon Smog Test & Repair” for a required DMV Smog Certificate, I’ve since returned a number of times after discovering they offer complete mechanical and body shop services, too. And I’m very happy to report that I’ve left feeling 100% satisfied every time.The shop owner’s name is Wilson, who’s not just a man of his word but is very friendly and easy to deal with. He’s very knowledgeable of both foreign and domestic mechanical issues. During the past two years I’ve returned maybe a half dozen times and found him to accurately diagnose, price, perform and deliver the final bill without any up-charging for additional hidden needs that were discovered only after work began etc — unlike many dishonest mechanics in that business. Wilson has stayed true to his word with each of my visits. He quickly completes the repairs or services exactly just as he quotes. Truly first rate!
